NASHVILLE (CelebrityAccess) – The estate of country music legend Patsy Cline has entered a partnership with Sandbox Succession, the legacy division of Sandbox Entertainment led by Jason Owen. This collaboration aims to expand Cline’s presence in media, licensing, and other ventures. The agreement is part of Sandbox Succession’s growing portfolio, which already manages the estates of icons like Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, and Loretta Lynn.
Julie Fudge, Patsy Cline’s daughter and representative of Patsy Cline Enterprises (PCE), expressed her excitement about the partnership. “On behalf of PCE and my brothers Randy and Charlies, Jr., we are pleased and proud to be with Josh and Sandbox Succession for this exciting next step in the continued expansion and promotion of the global legacy of all things Patsy Cline. We are in good company.” Together, the estate and Sandbox plan to explore opportunities in film, TV, licensing, publishing, hospitality, and merchandising.
Josh Matas, president of Sandbox Succession, emphasized Cline’s enduring influence in music, stating, “Patsy is one of the most recognizable and important female voices in music whose career was tragically cut short. She was an early architect in showing the possibilities in crossing musical genres. We aspire to work with icons, and we are beyond proud to be trusted to continue her voice for generations to come.” A documentary and a biography about Cline are already in development as part of the collaboration.
Cline remains one of the most iconic figures in country music, despite her untimely death in 1963 at the age of 30. Her hits like “I Fall to Pieces,” “Crazy,” and “Walkin’ After Midnight” have stood the test of time, cementing her place as a beloved figure in the genre.
Sandbox Succession, a division of Sandbox Entertainment, manages various high-profile estates and artists and continues to expand its presence in TV production, film, and Broadway.
